How to Get Clients for Your Draping Business (Even if You’re Just Starting)

Hey tribe,

You’ve got your kit. You’ve practiced your pleats. You’ve even nailed your signature draping style—but your inbox is still crickets. No inquiries. No bookings.

Don’t worry. I’m about to show you how to go from invisible to in demand—even if you’re just getting started and don’t have a full portfolio yet.

This guide is all about helping you show up confidently, attract the right clients, and get booked with intention.

1. Don’t Wait—Start Telling People What You Do

I know it sounds simple, but this is where most new draping pros get stuck. You can't grow your business if no one knows you're open.

Here’s how to start building awareness:

• Update your bio on all social platforms—clearly say who you help and how

• Create a pinned post or intro video that introduces your brand

• Share weekly behind-the-scenes content, styling tips, or fabric finds

If this feels overwhelming, we map it out step-by-step in the 30-Day Visibility Challenge inside the Raising the Bar Mentorship.

2. Use Social Proof—Even If You Don’t Have Clients Yet

You don’t need paid gigs to show your value. You just need visual proof and a little creativity.

Start here:

• Style mock installs at home, a friend’s house, or during content days

• Ask family or friends for testimonials if you’ve styled anything for them

• Share transformation videos—from fabric to full setup

The more you show what’s possible, the faster people will begin to see you as the expert—even if you’re still leveling up inside Posh Draping University.

3. Offer a “Founding Client” Rate to Get Your First 3 Bookings

Once your setup looks professional and your booking system is ready (use Posh Academy CRM or GoHighLevel), create a special “founding client” offer.

Let people know this is a limited-time rate in exchange for:

• Honest feedback

• Photos/videos from the event

• A written testimonial

4. Follow Up Like a Professional

The truth? Most bookings fall through because of poor follow-up—not because of pricing.

Build a follow-up system that includes:

• A thank-you email after every inquiry

• A downloadable FAQ or pricing brochure

• A clear call-to-action to schedule a discovery call or secure their date

Tools like Posh Academy CRM or GoHighLevel help automate this so no inquiry slips through the cracks.

5. Be Consistent on the Platforms That Matter Most

You don’t need to be everywhere to get seen. Choose one or two platforms and show up consistently.

Your content should include:

• Before-and-after setups

• Quick draping tips or tricks

• Answers to common client questions

• Progress updates from your mentorship journey

Consistency builds trust—and trust gets you booked.

Final Word

You don’t need a massive following or decades of experience to start making money with your draping business. You need:

• Visibility

• Confidence

• Systems that help you stay organized and follow through
